LA leadup

I can't sleep. I'm just too wound up thinking about the next few days, especially flying on a long haul flight.

I've not been further than New Zealand (for our honeymoon) and certainly not really anywhere on my own. That in itself is a tiny bit scary but a lot exciting.

After duplicating all the documents today, setting up Skype on all devices and tying up small details, I just cant sleep.

All of a sudden this pipe dream that I've been having is suddenly very real.

I've been checking out the weather, the accommodation while at CHA, the flight details, reserving my seat on each flight, thinking of locations to visit while in LA (Hollywood, Walk of fame, Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood Boulevard, Beverly Hills etc) and hoping like hell I can fit all that in.

As well as 2 days at Prima Headquarters with hands on product workshops and 4 days of CHA. My first day at CHA is my busiest as I'm booked into 4 business conferences. The next 3 days have one or two workshops, as well as working my way from booth to booth doing Make and Takes.

I'm really hoping to meet Tim Holtz, Heidi Swapp, Liz Kartchner and the likes. They are all having product releases at CHA so they should be very visible.

And the most of all is to finally meet Lee-Anne irl. Lee-Anne and Danni own Scrap Therapy and I've been on the Design Team for nearly a year. We formed a strong friendship on line and on the invitation from Lee-Anne has been my opportunity to go.

I'm hoping to blog each night but I may not be able to post a lot of images. I need to sleep at some stage ;o)
